Chapter 1260 I Have a Dream (Second update, please subscribe)
Like-minded!
Looking up at the banner hanging in front of the cinema, the middle-aged man walked in. The cinema was already full of people, including businessmen, scholars, politicians, officials, and of course some journalists.
The middle-aged man sitting in the back row looked in front of him, where a young man in a neat suit was giving a speech on the stage. He was giving a speech in Chinese.
What are comrades?
It is a club founded by a group of students studying in Nanyang. Most of the clubs in this club are students studying in Nanyang, as well as some pro-Southern businessmen.
They have always advocated "South Korea goodwill", advocated comprehensively learning from Nanyang, becoming a "brotherly state with the same goals as Nanyang", and promoting national construction with the help of Nanyang. Before the uniform change occurred last year, the comrades-in-arms association had always met privately in the form of academic salons, but now they have held public events and even published advertisements in newspapers.
It seems like a party activity.
While the middle-aged man was thinking about the history of "Like-minded Association", another person walked onto the stage. The man adjusted his glasses and said:
"Hello everyone, my name is Jin Yongzhe. I currently work for the National Reconstruction Administration and also obtained a master's degree in economics from Nanyang."
This is not the first time for Kim Yong-cheol on stage to attend such a gathering. But this is the largest one.
So he made sufficient preparations for this party.
“I went to Nanyang with the Asian Development Scholarship. After I went to Nanyang, I found that everything there was very rich and beautiful, but my country and nation did not have enough to wear or eat. There are always rows of people standing in front of the hospital. They need to sell their blood to make a living..."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man stood up. He knew that this must be another "spiritual Nanyang". "People", there are many such people in Korea, and the miracle of Nanyang shocked too many Koreans. Almost all Koreans regard "going to Nanyang" as the only opportunity to change their destiny.
Men can get rid of poverty when they go to Nanyang. If a woman goes to Nanyang and marries a Nanyang, she will become a Nanyang!
Because of this, in Korean schools, almost no one is willing to learn Mandarin, and students are more willing to spend their time learning Chinese.
After all, learning Chinese can change your destiny!
Only those who pass the Chinese Vocational Proficiency Test will have the opportunity to go to Nanyang.
Although many people cannot go to Nanyang due to limited quotas, this does not prevent them from becoming "spiritual Nanyang people", and this is especially true for international students like them who have studied in Nanyang.
In the eyes of these "spiritual Nanyang people", Nanyang seems to be the most perfect country in the world, like a paradise, where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone can have food and clothing without worries.
Nanyang is paradise.
At least for these spiritual Nanyang people, that’s how it is!
Just as he stood up to leave, a question came from behind him.
"Does anyone know about hamburgers?"
The sudden question made the middle-aged man stop. He turned around and looked at the young man on the stage, and saw Jin Yongzhe reaching out and asking:
"Has anyone eaten it?"
Then he pointed to a person in the front row and asked.
"Congressman, have you eaten?"
The congressman replied impatiently:
"I haven't eaten, boy!"
"When I was studying in Nanyang, there was a McDonald's on campus. At that time, when I was studying abroad and I couldn't guarantee one meal a day, I would smell the aroma of hamburgers when I passed by there every day, and I could see students from Nanyang having fun there. Enjoying the smell of hamburgers, bread and beef will always make people toss and turn at night for hungry people.”
Recalling the smell of hamburgers, Jin Yongzhe continued his speech:
< br>"For Nanyang people, their food is sumptuous, Chinese, French, German, Italian, but one thing is for sure, in their restaurants, Yongdu has Inexhaustible food. In the trash can at McDonald's, there are always hamburgers and fries that have only been eaten for two or three bites..."
When mentioning the scene he witnessed in Nanyang, Jin Yongzhe fell into deep thought. Most of the others were the same, and they even thought of the US military - there was a lot of food in the trash cans in the US military kitchens, and that food would be bought by people and then sold into military pots. But even this kind of garbage cannot be afforded by ordinary Koreans.
After all, there is meat in that garbage, Spam luncheon meat.
"Everyone, this is the economy, not swords and guns. A country where no one has to worry about starvation, a country where people can have food and clothing for three meals a day. When I was studying abroad, what I envied was not their fighter jets or aircraft carriers, but their hamburgers! All over the country What’s the use of winning the war when the people are hungry?”
Kim Yong-cheol’s words are intentional. After all, in order to maintain an army of hundreds of thousands, South Korea has spent 90% of its troops. All U.S. aid is used for military purposes.
“And this is also the fundamental reason why I study economics - we Koreans must have enough to eat! This is also my dream - I hope that my country can also become a country where everyone can have enough food and clothing for three meals a day. country!"
After his words fell, people in the cinema fell into a long silence, while the middle-aged man muttered there, thinking:
"McDonald's It’s obviously American!”
However, despite this, the middle-aged man still stared at the man on the stage, looking at him thoughtfully. His eyes lit up, and he seemed to see something.
"...So, we must promote the construction of the country."
Jin Yongzhe adjusted his glasses and said:
"Please look here..."
Walking to the map, Jin Yongzhe pointed to the large map of the peninsula and introduced:
"We will build a highway connecting Seoul and Busan, build industrial parks and ports, and then build a highway to connect Seoul and Incheon. And export goods from Incheon to Southeast Asia, to Europe, to the United States..."
< br>Speaking of excitement, Kim Yong-cheol waved his hands vigorously, then turned around and walked back to the lecture seat, speaking into the microphone:
“Many people say that South Korea has no hope, but they ignore the infinite potential that South Korea has. This potential includes cheap but educated labor. Our worker wages are only one hundredth of those in Nanyang. There are nearly 100 million people in Nanyang. Even if they wear two pairs of shoes each, we can sell 200 million pairs. Shoes, everyone, this alone can bring us hundreds of millions of dollars in return!"
He held the podium with his hands and looked at the people in the audience. People were also looking at him, as if they were talking. Waiting for him to say something, and Jin Yongzhe enjoyed this feeling very much. Although deep down in his heart, he knew that he would go to Nanyang sooner or later, but after returning to Nanyang last year, because he had returned from studying abroad, the feeling of being The feeling of being sought after and respected by others was something he had never experienced in Nanyang.
People are always obsessed with some things. Just like now, what he formulated and described is just the simplest development strategy, and even "learned" from Nanyang's successful experience to a certain extent. Nanyang also developed in this way.
Since Nanyang can do it, South Korea can do the same.
"Everyone, as a country, South Korea can become an industrial country with its young labor force. We can rely on the advantage of being surrounded by seas on three sides to become a big trading country and "build a country by trade." This is what we The country you dreamed of!”
After a moment of silence, a burst of warm applause broke out below. People stood up one after another, and the middle-aged man standing in the back row also stood up and applauded vigorously. .
A tsunami of applause sounded in the cinema.
While applauding vigorously, the middle-aged man finally calmed down from his excitement. He was also excited by the future shown by this man.
"Kim Yongzhe, Kim Yongzhe, Kim Yongzhe..."
Soon, people in the entire cinema were applauding and shouting his name, while the man standing in the back row Staring at the man on the stage like that, listening to the cheers of the people, he raised the corners of his mouth and said to himself:
"This guy is a good match!"
For today's Koreans, all they need is dreams. Dreams are very important, but more importantly, it allows them to see hope.
"Hope!"
After leaving the cinema, Jin Yongzhe said to the girl next to him who was like a little fangirl.
"What does South Korea need now? It is hope. A hope to make the country rich and powerful! No - it should be said to be a hope for everyone to have enough to eat."
In While speaking, Jin Yongzhe's eyes turned to the shop on the roadside, where the sign written in Chinese characters said.
“Meihui, look at these signs.”
"What's wrong, they are all written in Chinese."
Zhu Meihui said:
"Now not only in Seoul, but even in the countryside, everyone is willing to use Chinese."
Even many people speak in Chinese. Just like when they chat with each other now, they also use Chinese.
Nodding, Jin Yongzhe said.
"Actually, this is hope. For the vast majority of ordinary people, they have no chance to go to Nanyang at all, but it does not prevent them from pinning their future hopes on Nanyang."
If we talk about it back What was the most profound feeling during your year in Korea?
This is South Korea now. It can be said that Koreans are doing their best to bring themselves closer to Nanyang.
“By learning Chinese, we have the opportunity to go to Nanyang. Go to Nanyang to make money, go to Nanyang to do business. Go to Nanyang to study. Everything is Nanyang... It is Nanyang for everyone. Dream, and this dream is hope”
“Hope!”
Zhu Meihui nodded and said:
"Oppa, do you think we have a chance to realize this dream?"
In response to the girl's inquiry, Jin Yongzhe did not answer her immediately, but He thought for a while and then said slowly:
"Then it depends on the president. After all, the governance of the country depends on the president."
At this point, Kim Yongzhe His brows furrowed. Although he had no interest in returning to South Korea at all, he was still pursuing his political career. As an official of the State Construction Bureau, he once formulated a five-year plan aimed at revitalizing South Korea's industrial economy. development plan.
But after the plan was submitted, it fell into silence without any response.
Jin Yongzhe was also extremely helpless.
"This is nothing but a matter of fact. Isn't the president about to visit Nanyang? Maybe this time he will win the support of Nanyang when he goes to Nanyang, and South Korea's economy will definitely improve greatly by then."
Zhu Meihui said expectantly from the side.
"That's true, but..."
Jin Yongzhe said.
"If the president wants to win the support of Nanyang, he must prove something to Nanyang."
"What? What do you want to prove?"
The girl looked at it in confusion. Looking at the man next to him.
“Does this still need proof?”
"Of course, Nanyang's help cannot be given to everyone, they will only help..."
Looking into the distance, Jin Yongzhe said.
"They will only help those like-minded countries. If the president cannot prove this, it will be difficult to win support from Nanyang."
